Useless if it can not read the supposed transparency QR code.
No point to it

Does nothing except name products that you already know what it is!
Absolutely Pointless App

Bought an anti-bark vibration collar for our dog. Instructions given was to download this app and of course, charge the collar. The only thing this app does is show you the item ordered and a short video showing you had to set the collar. It would be nice if you could change the settings within the app as well, but, unfortunately it doesn’t. I just removed the app!
It works, but so what

Scanned the code on a card reader. Got the green check mark and even some product info. But like many others, I don’t understand the point of this.
Anyone who copies the product can also copy the code sticker, which will result in the green check mark.
Don’t get it…
This app is pointless.

You download the app, like the instructions say. You scan the code that came with whatever you’ve bought, then a page pops up to tell you what you what you’ve bought. This exists only to track you.
Scans a removable sticker

Some reviewers felt the need to insult the intelligence of anyone who doesn’t get the usefulness of this app. Well what does it do? It scans a sticker which must be scanned only by this app! Let that sink in! In what universe does this authenticate anything? It doesn’t appear to even authenticate the sticker! Where is the control in this experiment?
Didn’t scan

It didn’t scan the code that came with a brand new Avapow A07 . Tried every angle and distance . Since that’s all it can do, and it doesn’t do it, I must rate it lowest. Or does this prove my product is fake? Instructions do not help at all.
Completely worthless

I downloaded the app and scanned the barcode. The barcode was on a standard printable label you can buy from virtually any office supply store.
All the app did is show me the product I ordered. As far as I can tell, nothing would stop someone from ordering one legitimate product, making a high-quality scan of the label/barcode, printing 100 copies, and putting them on fake/counterfeit merchandise.
Supply chain fraud/integrity is a huge problem globally, but this app doesn’t appear to do anything about it. Save your time and your phone’s storage space.
Camera not capturing QR code

Not sure how this app works but I can’t get the camera to capture the QR code and it has difficulty focusing a close distance
The Most Pointless App Ever?

My wifi USB camera had a code on the packaging to scan that said “Scan with the Transparency app”. So I downloaded the app which basically just says I have a USB wifi mini camera. Yes, seriously. It doesn’t have any information or link to a manual, tutorial, video, product specifications, or even the model number of the camera. I’m totally at a loss at what is the point of this app.
